The geographic atrophy market was valued at USD 24.1 billion in 2023, driven by the increasing prevalence of geographic atrophy and the rising regulatory approval of new therapeutic agents across the 8 major markets. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.70% during the forecast period of 2024-2032, with the values likely to reach USD 39.9 billion by 2032.
Geographic atrophy (GA) is the atrophic late form of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and causes the destruction of retinal cells responsible for vision. It is reported to affect over 1 million individuals in the United States and around 5 million individuals globally. This progressive condition is predominantly found in older adults. Thus, as the aging population increases, the demand for the geographic atrophy market is expected to witness a surge.
The market is influenced by the growing awareness regarding this severe eye disease and its impact on vision. This is prompting more patients to seek early diagnosis and treatment. The growth in new drug approvals by regulatory bodies such as the FDA and EMA is also anticipated to aid in the market expansion. Moreover, factors such as significant investment in research and development in the retinal ophthalmology field, increased strategic partnerships among biotech and pharmaceutical companies, and advancements in diagnostic tools are expected to drive market growth.
Increasing Prevalence of Geographic Atrophy Drives Market Growth
Recent data suggests that 1 out of 5 individuals aged 85 or more are affected by geographic atrophy in at least one eye. Bilateral geographic atrophy is reported to result in severe visual impairment, with a substantial burden on patients as well as healthcare providers. Although the prevalence and incidence of this eye disease varies across different regions, it is estimated that the highest burden of geographic atrophy is found in European ancestry. The increasing aging population is one of the primary drivers of the growing cases of this retinal disorder, which is anticipated to bolster market growth in the coming years.
Rise in Drug Approvals to Meet Rising Geographic Atrophy Market Demand
In February 2023, global biopharma company Apellis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. announced that the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted approval to its drug SYFOVRE™ (pegcetacoplan injection) indicated for geographic atrophy (GA) secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The regulatory approval, based on the positive results from the Phase 3 OAKS and DERBY clinical studies, marked a milestone in the field of retinal ophthalmology, with SYFOVRE being the first FDA-cleared treatment for geographic atrophy. The rise in such regulatory approvals is set to fuel the market growth.
The market is witnessing several trends and developments to improve the current scenario. Some of the notable trends are as follows:
Key Trends | Impact |
Growth in Strategic Partnerships | Many pharmaceutical companies are engaging in collaborations and acquisitions to accelerate the development of new treatments for retinal diseases including geographic atrophy. For instance, in December 2023, Japan-based Astellas Pharma Inc. completed the acquisition of United States biopharmaceutical company IVERIC Bio, Inc. to expand its portfolio in the ophthalmology disease segment. |
Improvements in Diagnostic Technologies | The market is positively influenced by the improvements in diagnostic technologies, such as optical coherence tomography (OCT) and fundus autofluorescence (FAF). The adoption of such advanced diagnostic tools is resulting in early detection and better monitoring of the disease, which is expected to boost the geographic atrophy market value. |
Increased Investment in Research and Development | One of the major market trends is the growing R&D funding by pharmaceutical companies which is aimed at discovering and developing new treatments for geographic atrophy. Such substantial investments are helping in better understanding the disease and bringing effective therapies to the market. |
Advancements in Drug Development | The market is benefitting from the development of new therapeutic agents that are reaching late-stage clinical trials. These drugs are designed to target the underlying mechanism of this severe retinal disease and show the potential for better management of the condition. The rising focus on biologics and gene therapy solutions to treat geographic atrophy is projected to aid market expansion. |

Distribution Channel Segment is Projected to Fuel Market Growth
Based on the distribution channel, the market is segmented into hospital pharmacy, retail pharmacy, online pharmacy, and others. Hospital pharmacies cover a significant market share as they offer immediate access to medications for geographic atrophy in hospital settings. The online pharmacy segment is a growing market segment that allows patients to place orders for their medications remotely. Online pharmacies provide convenience and home delivery services and thus are gaining demand in the market.
Based on the region, the market includes the United States, EU-4 (Germany, France, Italy, Spain), and the United Kingdom, Japan, and India. The United States represents a significant market share owing to the large population in the region affected by age-related macular degeneration (AMD), including geographic atrophy. The market growth is supported by increased access to advanced therapies and the presence of a positive regulatory environment that ensures faster market entry for new treatments.
The key features of the market report comprise the patent analysis, clinical trial analysis, grant analysis, and strategic initiatives by the leading key players. The major companies in the market are as follows:
Apellis Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Based in Massachusetts, United States, Apellis Pharmaceuticals is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company that is one of the leading players in the market. The company developed the first-ever treatment for geographic atrophy, SYFOVRE™ (pegcetacoplan injection), which the FDA approved in February 2023.
Iveric Bio
Iveric Bio, a part of Japan's Astellas Pharma, has a robust presence in the market and specializes in developing novel therapeutics for ophthalmic diseases. In August 2023, its therapy IZERVAY™ (avacincaptad pegol intravitreal solution) received FDA clearance for the treatment of geographic atrophy.
Alkeus Pharmaceuticals Inc.
United States-based Alkeus Pharmaceuticals Inc., a late-stage biopharmaceutical company, is known for developing therapies against serious and untreatable eye diseases. Its lead candidate Gildeuretinol acetate (ALK-001) is undergoing clinical development for geographic atrophy and Stargardt's disease.
Hemera Biosciences
Privately owned biotechnology company Hemera Biosciences is known for developing gene therapy to treat patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The firm has developed drug candidate HMR59, a gene therapy designed to increase the expression of CD59, which has the potential to preserve vision in geographic atrophy patients.
Other key players in the market include Allegro Ophthalmics, Stealth BioTherapeutics, Novartis AG, Regenerative Patch Technologies, LLC, F. Hoffmann-La Roche AG, Gensight Biologics, NGM Biopharmaceuticals, AstraZeneca PLC, and Lineage Cell Therapeutics.
